About us
Built by founders
We back bold founders seeking to define a better future in Latin America and beyond, partnering with pre-scale companies that show early signs of product-market fit. Comprised of founders and operators who founded and scaled some of the biggest companies in Latin America (and the world), we know the challenges founders face every day and carry the battle scars to prove it.
